This sort of baiting can still work.  Foes might be overconfident, spoiling for a fight, or just figure it's worth the risk.  They might assume you're overconfident, or spoiling for a fight, or just a bit dim.  However, if you can make your presence look like an accident, or if you're doing some sort of legitimate PvE activity like ratting, then foes are less likely to be cautious.  Even better if you can add some time pressure, such as a vulnerable ship dropping out of warp and crawling to the gate (on "autopilot"), or a heavy ship wandering into a gate camp and quickly trying to warp off.  If the foe feels that he must get it now before it gets away, he's more likely to make a hasty decision.
